Video Camera Camcorder 2.7K 36MP UHD IR Night Vision Digital Camcorder 16X Digital Zoom 3 inch IPS Touch Screen Video Camcorder with Microphone, Lens Hood and Camera Holder

I purchased this camera as my first "Urban Exploring" equipment (we got lot of bunkers in Poland that are worth going into) and have to say I am really positively suppressed, as I wasn't expecting a lot from the build in IR iluminator (So I additionally purchased separate Camera IR Iluminator accessory) but it does pretty great job illuminating what was in front. I have tested it in nearby forest and it illuminated around 20m of what was in front.I will try to list couple of Positive Points about this camera but there are some Negative to look for as well.Positive:1). The Camcorder sits in the hand really comfortably and does have all the buttons really close within finger reach.2). The camcorder is really compact and can fit in ones pocket or belt pouch.3). The setup of the software is really simple and doesn't require a lot of camera knowledge.4). Day Recording Video quality is impressive on FHD.5). Nigh Vision (Night Shoot) Recording is fun to use and simple to switch to (simply press once on Power Button).6). Really powerful IR iluminator (like said previously) can illuminate up to 20m in front.7). Using the Lens Hood is advised on daytime recording for depth of the picture and sun glare can be a annoyance.8). The batteries that are included are NP-40 with 800mAh of power which is enough for about 2h of constant recording but I do recommend purchasing NP-40 with 1500mAh for longer use.9). The build in mic is really sensitive and the audio in the recording you can hear all the cracks when You walk with the camera.Negative:1). The Camcorder with Holder/Handle does not screw in properly (at least in my case) and it was really wobbly when mounted.2). The flip screen is not as sensitive as phones and may feel like it may break at any time.3). There is no autofocus or manual focus so it is hard to control what you record when switching from close to far items and other way round.4). The zoom feature is not smooth and gets really grainy when in use.5). When using the Night Vision with 2.5k setting for recording the video is bit laggy (lower Frame Rate) and there is a nasty screen line (on the recording) as if someone divided the recording in two and then slided them closer together. When using the FHD it is all fine no line and video is much smother.6). When using the Lens Hood you can't use IR light as the hood itself blocks it, so if you want to protect the camera from bumping into something while using Nigh Vision I do recommend additional IR light source.

Very compact and capable little camcorder/camera for under £100On unboxing i was really pleasantly surprised of just how good the finish is on this little camera it looks and feels like it should be more expensive!It comes with an instruction manual, hdmi lead, 2 X batteries, micro usb lead for charging although there was no charger, I had to use my smartphone charger as a means of charging the battery. It also comes with a microphone, lens sun screen and a nice ergonomic handle, there is also a small soft case for storing the camera. All the accessories can be mounted/dismounted for the users own preferences, there is also a remote control which is really handy if you are blogging etc. The LCD touch screen is fully rotatable and is nice and clear with an easy to use menu screen, you can use the buttons on the camera itself or use the touch screen to Navigate. If however you have sausage fingers like me navigating using the touchscreen can be a bit awkward but certainly not impossible. The camera does not come with an SD card so you will need to add one for video and picture storage etc, if you are using a micro SD card you will need an adapter!What's the video and picture quality like?To be honest your certainly not going to win any academy awards with this, however the video quality is pretty decent and the still pictures are not bad either. I do think there is a little embellishment claiming a full 36 MP on this little camera so If you are looking for a pro performance camera/camcorder then this is not for you. For me the unit delivers enough quality for what I need, some movie footage trekking with my dogs also some nice still pictures, and for under £100 I'm certainly not going to cry if I drop or damage it.Would I recommend this?Definitely, a light compact camcorder for an amateur blogger or someone that wants to take movies and stills perhaps on holiday without breaking the bank, or worried about it getting broken or stollen, for under £100 your certainly not going to loose any sleep over it.

Using as webcam, able to attach to tripod, mic works pluged into camera in camcorder mode but not in webcam mode, you have to plug mic into mic input on pc, accessing webcam mode-do not plug in usb cable, open display screen, turn off camera, hold down inpicture photo button located behind zoom switch on top of camera, plug in usb cable, switch on camera while still holding down inpcture button, screen will display camera and usb symbol, release button you are now in webcam mode. Camera works well for the money, manual could be in a little larger print or more info online, AMcap video capture is recommended, I use NCH Debut video capture

For the price: adequate.The output is mono, not stereo. Your listening device will probably compensate by centralising the sound for general use, but you'll need to add an extra track if you use a video editor as it'll only recognise, and then output, a single audio file.In light less than full daylight the image is rather grainy and unstable.The audio/video synchronisation isn't perfect (slight video delay) but you'll only really notice this if you're focussing on somebody's lips when they're speaking.It's pretty fair, but you'll need to shell out a bit more money for a quality camcorder.
